You could do worse. And that is her left hand and that is no wedding on her finger. Go for it, Dog, before she is Gone.

[PureSolace]

Nice looking, but she's not a blonde...

Which makes her alll the better. ;-)

[Wolfstar]

She is lovely, isn't she. Bravery and beauty in one package. What's not to love.

Here's some more.

Syrian-backed Lebanese Prime Minister Omar Karami arrives at Parliament in Beirut, February 28, 2005. (Pretty grim looking.)

Lebanon's pro-Syrian Prime Minister Omar Karameh tendered his cabinet's resignation during a parliamentary debate on charges the government had a hand in his predecessor's murder.

U.S. envoy David Satterfield said Washington wanted to see Syria start pulling troops out of Lebanon and end its interference in the country's political affairs ahead of elections due by the end of May. (Notice the operative word is WANTED, not REQUESTED. Got to hand it to our Dubya. He's got a pair of huge brass ones.)

Syrian Foreign Minister Faruq al-Shara arrived in Riyadh on the latest leg of a regional tour, facing intense international pressure to end Damascus's political and military dominance of Lebanon.

Lebanese protesters celebrate after Prime Minister Omar Karami resigned in Beirut, February 28, 2005. (We don't need TV to tell us what the joy of newly restored liberty sounds like.)

But that is what a significant majority of dumbed-down, bread & circuses Americans want, you know.

If the American public was dumb, they would have never stopped watching the evening news on ABC/NBC/CBS.

[Fishtalk]

Got to drain the swamp that is Saudi Arabia first. That one will be the trickiest of all.

Yup.

[Coop]

Coop, will you please give up already?

Funny that you directed your snit only to me.

Short answer: No. If it bothers you, go away.

The soldier in the middle looking toward the camera appears to be looking for orders to pull his gun or something. But most of the soldiers look passive and uncertain, as though they are uncomfortable preventing their own people from protesting.

[ravingnutter]

Now I can refresh this thread every three seconds instead.

I am taking turns...have this up on one screen and DU up on the other, LOL! Surprisingly, for the most part, they are being supportive of this move by the Lebanese, BUT they don't want Bush to get the credit and they said the fight would be on if us "Repukes" started gloating. So...I say...

LET THE GLOATING BEGIN!

[processing please hold]

The left was right, the Iraq war led to an EXPLOSION of the Arab street.

You're right. I hadn't thought of it that way.

[Dog Gone]

what do the rings mean??

They mean she's attracted to greyhaired Texans with overactive imaginations.

[Coop]

By the way, your links supported my point. Thanks
